What I call vacation craziness has begun! This is the point at which you realize you leave very soon and all those last minute things need to get done NOW! You can't continue to put them off any longer.
It's happening at work, home, school, and dance! I choose not to say anything specific about my work, for confidentiality reasons, but suffice it to say people start coming out of the woodwork with things that need to be done when they realize you are leaving, tons of fun!
At home, we decided to have part of our house painted (on the inside) while we are on vacation. Our neighbor and friend is a painter, so we trust him with the keys. But that means taking down pictures, curtains and curtain rods, moving furniture to the center of the space, etc. I'm very excited for the painting. I need to try to remember to take some photos of the before and after. We are finally painting our dining room/stairway space. Our living room overlooks this space, so we've always just kept it white as it is such a large space and flows with most of the main portion of the house. I finally decided it's time to add color! It's not a wild color, something call "Familiar Beige", kind of a medium tan. I'm so excited to see how it will warm the space!
Tiny Dancer has last minute things going on as well. For school, we are trying to see if there is homework, etc. that she can do ahead. Then there is dance. She's going to miss a week of practices during a critical time, they are learning all of their dances for the contest/recital season. Contest paperwork and fees are due while we are gone, so lots of paperwork to fill out. It is also very exciting! Even though it means more practices and driving, Tiny Dancer loves it so much! I love to watch her!
That's the craziness of my life right now. Given that craziness I don't know if I will be posting again before our vacation and I won't have access while on vacation, I'll be back around 2/1!
By the way, I'm feeling less worried today, which is good, much calmer!
Take Care!

Aaahhh, I can relate to the "wait until she's almost out the door and then ask her to do something" syndrome. Same thing, different job/person/town. It sucks, doesn't it?
Love the idea of having work done while you're away. My brother re-tiled our bathroom/shower last summer while we were "Up North" for a week. Loved coming home to something new and exciting.
Have a fund vacation!
